I'd like to share my own "most annoying bugs evah".

There is probably only one: mouse wheel. Many years ago mouse wheel
support broke in mplayer, it happened on every system and with every
mouse I have (and I replaced mouse twice since then and upgraded main
PC, too). Even when mouse wheel isn't bound to any key, touching wheel
up or down results in mplayer "glitch" after which it can't accept any
other keys, only finding console where mplayer was launched from and
pressing Ctrl-C helps. I always leave my mouse alone when using mplayer,
but at times touch it by accident and.. OOPS.. have to restart mplayer
after, because controls are unsuable from that point on. Mouse wheels
always get "stuck" in mplayer, but if they are bound to some action,
that action is executed before it gets stuck.

If you use wheel up / wheel down, it gives even stranger results, with
both actions getting stuck. Some time ago I upgraded to mouse with wheel
tilting left/right for horizontal scroll, and with such mouse it's
possible to make 3 or 4 buttons stuck in mplayer! Yay.

No matter what happened to mplayer, this bug is always there.. Even
though I remember that looong time ago it wasn't present, but on some
update it just broke. Was probably like 3-4 years ago, or around that,
and not fixed since :o
